The yields are the mean values of two parallel incubations on (i) 40 mM 1-13C-labeled substrate and (ii) 20 mM 13C6-labeled substrate plus 20 mM naturally labeled substrate with the corresponding deviations between the two incubations. All yields are given in mmol of product mol−1 except the yield for biomass, which is given in mg of dry biomass mmol−1.
